Lipoic acid and Gammagard drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Lipoic acid (alpha - lipoic acid) and Gammagard (immune globulin). Common drug interactions include back pain among females and infusion related reaction among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Lipoic acid and Gammagard. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 85 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

What is Lipoic acid?
